I haven't looked at my gliding log books for years and decided to see if I had flown either of the Swallows above. I see that I flew XS650 several times at Old Sarum over a three year period in the early 70's. I see also that, the same day I last flew her, I also had one flight in a Skylark 4 which, in those days was pretty near the top of the range of gliders. It actually belonged to the Imperial College gliding club and it landed at Old Sarum when it ran out of lift on a cross country flight. The pilot asked if he could have a winch launch to see if he could get back to wherever he had come from. Our CO happened to be there that day and agreed to let him have a launch if he could have a quick flight in it first. When the pilot agreed, I thought that I had a lot more experience flying high performance gliders than the CO did so I asked for a flight too. Them were the good old days.
